This is one of the best purchases for computers I have ever made! It is easy to connect between the 2 computers, taking only minutes. It does not matter if they are Mac to PC, or PC to PC, or Mac to Mac. The connection is easily activated, enabling the transfer of any file or program from one computer to another. Transfers are as easy as dragging and dropping! Sometimes the mouse fails to make the jump to the next computer, but that might be operator error. I just attempt it again and it works. I have easily transferred files, programs, movies and music! I wish I had this years ago. It would have saved me time, money, and the loss of many great programs on old computers. I was about to purchase an external harddrive to attach to my friend's computer, copy terrabytes of info, and then plug it into my computer to use. My friend noticed this Wormhole cord on the shelf and the price was amazing (around $30, or so)! We tried it instead of the external HD, and I began to use it for all sorts of things from then on! I have not used it on tablets or other portable devices other than my laptop, but I am sure it will work on those too.

I needed to move files from my old Window 8 laptop to my iMac. Not only did it transfer the files just by dragging and dropping from one screen to another, it also allowed mouse sharing capabilities. I do have to say that I had to reopen the program a few times because it stopped responding and that bummed me out. It's good for rare occasions, but long term it would drive me nuts.

I bought this because I have MS word, excel and ppt on my MacBook and not on my employer's laptop. On that I have Apache. I keep getting .doc files I'm suppose to reply to and it's very difficult to edit them (first change file type, edit, change file type back and then send without getting some kind of error). With the j5 Create you can easily drag and drop files from one laptop to another. I also have j5's monitor to usb connector so I can connect a 3rd monitor to my work laptop. I think that's probable the reason that the mouse acts a little squirly when working on my MacBook. But it's easy enough to resolve, you just disconnect the wormhole cable for the length of time you need to be working on one of the laptops and reconnect it when you're done if the mouse behavior bothers you.
